HL Deb 22 July 1999 vol 604 c128WA 128WA

§ The Earl of Clancarty
asked Her Majesty's Government:
Which national museums and galleries do not allow readmission to temporary exhibitions which carry an entrance fee. [HL3643]

§ Lord McIntosh of Haringey
The British Museum. Tate Gallery, National Portrait Gallery, Victoria and Albert Museum, and the National Museum of Science and Industry do not generally allow readmission to temporary exhibitions which carry an entrance fee.
The National Gallery will not allow readmission only if an exhibition is particularly popular, when a timed entry system is used to maintain visitor flow.
